I do think that the key isn't necessarily listening. You simply dream of whatever keeps you busy. Your mind repeats the things you were doing or thinking about the day before, in a way, while dreaming. So, much preoccupation with Japanese of any sort could cause Japanese to become a part of your dreaming. So, after... what was it, six hours?... of listening to Japanese, it's not strange that you would dream of it. It can be very helpful, because REM-sleep (the part of sleep in which you dream) helps solidify memories and cognitive skills in your mind. So you were effectively "studying" it some more while dreaming of it, so to speak! Just wanted to share that little bit of knowledge :) but anyway, again, congratulations! Congratulations!

Japanese... ehm well, I did dream about Dutch people who were learning Japanese, and a girl spoke about her favorite singer (being Nana Kitade) and I saw Nana Kitade's name (北出菜奈) in kanji, while I only knew about 100 kanji or so at that time. And I tend to dream in "Japanese" when I visit Japan in my dreams, but that "Japanese" is the weirdest mix of English, Dutch and a few random words of Japanese. All Japanese people in my dreams understand it though ^_~ (Dreams are weird.). I dream in English all the time, probably more often than in Dutch.

I'm just Khatzumoto's wife who's far behind him in Japanese and trying to catch up. I'm too lazy to be called a co-author -- more of an on-and-off contributor. John: That's pretty awesome you dreamed in Korean. Multilingual dreams would be wicked! Ruisu: Yeah, I love At Home Dad too.

I remember first doing that in Chinese, and waking up so elated. Now, when I dream of Japanese friends, they tend to speak in Japanese, even though I almost always talk to them in English or Chinese in real life. A few nights ago a waitress in my dream said "kamsamnida" ("thank you" in Korean) which kind of freaked me out, because I know basically zero Korean. I wonder if it just gets easier over time to dream in random tongues. 恭喜恭喜! I remember first doing that in Chinese, and waking up so elated.
